Pinch me, I'm dreaming!

[jaredwitman]

Unreal.....

My aunt has spent many hours over the years glassing hillsides, hiking trails, scouting areas for the deer we go after each hunting season. She decided to give this whole thing a shot for herself a couple years back and has started carrying her own rifle and deer tag. A deer hunting addict she has become to say the least. She has yet to notch the tag she carries each trip up the mountain. After striking out in the draw we tried something new this year and decided to buy a few raffle tickets, what could it hurt right?

I punched in my ticket numbers... nothing as usual. I talked her through entering my uncles over the phone, nothing as usual. Figuring on the same results for hers I waited with slim to no chance of anything exciting when I hear them both gasp.....she says, "I DREW"!!!!

First raffle ticket purchase, first non-general season tag, first time anticipating a draw in WA state and she goes and wins the mule deer raffle!!!! Pinch me I'm dreaming, this is what memories are made of. I cannot wait to get my boots on the ground to find her a monster. I can't believe it.

How exciting is that for her and you.   Congratulations.

I LOVE when someone scores on the raffle like this!  Congrats and I'll keep my eyes peeled.  What caliber of deer is she looking for?

[Ridgerunner]

That's so awesome!  Score should mean nothing to her, this is her first buck, get out and enjoy some time in November during the rut and find a buck that she likes, no reason for a first time hunter to set the bar so high imo. 

[Rainier10]

Yes and no.  This is probably the only time she is going to get this kind of an opportunity.  Not sure I would set the bar at 200" but I would set it at 170" or better.  And of course my standard "trash" trumps everything.

Congrats on a great tag and please post up a story when the hunt is over.

That's awesome!
